On November 23rd at Bradford Cathedral, we will be celebrating the end of this triennium for the Mother’s Union in the Diocese of Leeds.

It is a time to give thanks to God for all that has been achieved both here and across the world as we aim to support families by prayer and in practical ways.

Recently our focus has been on the plight of women who suffer any kind of violence and we will have a display to highlight the “16 Days of Action against Gender Based Violence” campaign and also the Mothers’ Union “Rise Up” campaign which seeks to raise awareness of domestic violence in this country.

This service gives us time to look back, but also to go forward with the confidence that with God’s help we can continue to make a difference.

Join us and Join in… We are changing lives!

All are welcome to this quiet, said service of Holy Communion, following the form given in the Book of Common Prayer (1662).

The service will conclude with light refreshments including nibbles from some of these cultural traditions.

Bringing together the City Carol Service and the Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership Carol Service into one shared event.

This event is being hosted by Bradford Cathedral and will feature seasonal music led by the Bradford Cathedral Choir and the City of Bradford Brass Band. All are welcome.

In a special collaboration for this Advent, monologues by Revd Canon Ned Lunn and music by Rachel Chaplin are performed together in the beautiful surroundings of Bradford Cathedral.

Words and music combine to reflect on the place of faith in the unexpected and challenging circumstances we find ourselves in. Listen to the voice of Mary, the mother of Jesus, exploring themes of fear, expectation and hope as she wrestles with pregnancy and motherhood at a time of great upheaval.

Mary, played by Philippa Slingsby-Lunn, will be reading the words of Mary as a modern day pregnant woman.

The Advent music is by Rachel Chaplin, performed by Evi Dobner (vocals) and Rachel Chaplin (piano).

This event is 'Pay As You Feel', and you are invited to pay on the door or at the event.

This project is part-funded by Bradford Council’s West Area Committee and supported by the Bradford West Area Co-ordinator’s Office. For more information please visit the Bradford West People Can Facebook group.

Rachel Chaplin is a classically-trained instrumentalist and composer. She performs internationally as an oboist with period instrument ensembles including the English Baroque Soloists, with whom she performed for the King’s Coronation. Rachel’s compositions combine her experience in classical music with a rich tradition of Christian worship, which she has practised in various forms throughout her life. She released her debut album, ‘Music from an Inner Space: Psalms & sacred songs’, earlier this year, performing on piano and featuring the ethereal vocals of Evi Dobner with accompaniment by strings and trumpet. Described as ‘beautiful and powerful songs, better than any medicine’ (BBC Radio 3’s Hannah French), Rachel’s music opens up a calm and contemplative space into which her lyrics strike with beauty and depth.

Evi Dobner is a singer, songwriter, dancer and sacred artist. Currently co-leader of worship at the Lee Abbey Community in Devon, she was formally involved in worship direction at St Paul’s Hammersmith and before that in Budapest, where she was born and raised.

Her collaboration with Rachel has seen them release five music videos (recorded and filmed by her husband Elijah Dobner) and their debut album Music from an Inner Space.

Popularised by the annual broadcast from King's College, Cambridge, the Festival of Nine Lessons and carols tells the story of humanity and Jesus Christ through bible readings and choral and congregational carols. All are welcome to join us for this special candlelit service followed by seasonal refreshments.

For many people a firm fixture of the festive period, the combination of Steeleye Span’s Maddy Prior and The Carnival Band has offered a unique take on timeless Christmas music ever since they first came together in 1984.

The pairing resulted not only in the acclaimed album Carols & Capers and many more, but a concert experience like no other. To mark the fortieth anniversary of their artistic relationship, Maddy and The CB will tour the UK in what will be not only a celebration but also a farewell, the last time they will undertake such an outing. Together they will mix ancient and modern instruments and rich vocal harmony with a refreshing cavalier attitude and plenty of humour - putting their inimitable stamp on a range of familiar and not-so-familiar festive fare.

This guarantees to be a Christmas Party to remember - a celebration of a unique partnership.

The Cathedral Choir presents its annual recital. Music, poetry, witty Christmas stories and the best-loved Christmas carols come together in this yearly sing-a-long celebration.

Messy Crib returns for another interactive service involving storytelling, craft, music and prayers. Follow the star and meet some of the people who were there at the first messy Christmas in the messy stable and found Jesus in his messy crib.

"ART OF ANDALUCIA" is a captivating celebration of Daniel Martinez's exceptional artistry in the world of flamenco. This unique concert offers a full immersion into the essence of flamenco, featuring a carefully curated selection of Daniel's most celebrated works from his discography, including his award-winning production "Art of Believing" and his latest masterpiece, "Andalucia." Additionally, the concert will provide an exclusive sneak peek into his eagerly awaited third album, offering the audience an exclusive first listen to some of his new music.

"ART OF ANDALUCIA" is not just a music concert; it's an homage to the rich tradition of flamenco dance. Daniel Martinez strives to achieve a harmonious balance between music and dance, elevating the latter to a starring role in the show. To realise this vision, the concert will showcase two extraordinary dancers whose artistry and passion are set to ignite the stage, taking the audience on a sensory journey through the heart of Andalucia. Daniel will compose and create original music specifically for each dancer's choreography, which will be uniquely choreographed exclusively for this production and can only be seen on this tour. This meticulous alignment of music and movement ensures a seamless and immersive experience, celebrating the profound connection between flamenco music and dance.

One of the dancers, the world-renowned Angel Reyes, will grace the stage with his extraordinary talent. Angel, a member of Manuel Liñan's company, has also distinguished himself for many years as the second dancer in Jesus Carmona's company. Globally celebrated for his impeccable technique and fiery passion, his performances are mesmerising, leaving the audience spellbound and deeply moved. His presence in "ART OF ANDALUCIA" elevates the concert to an unmissable cultural event, bringing a unique and electrifying energy.

Joining Angel is the fantastic Gabriela Pouso, the exceptional dancer for the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company. Since its beginnings, Gabriela has been an integral part of the company, performing on the biggest and most important stages across the UK. She was instrumental in the company's success when they won the prestigious Herald Angel Award, captivating the more than 60,000 people who have attended their concerts since 2017. Her performances blend elegance, grace, and intensity, enthralling audiences with every movement.

The experience is completed by the presence of their stunning singers and palmeros Inma Montero and Danielo Olivera, who bring pure soul and heart to flamenco, along with percussionist Julian Ticotico whose rhythm will be the pulse of an unforgettable night. Additionally, there will be a total of eight musicians on stage, each contributing their mastery to create a symphony of sounds that will transport you to Andalucia. "ART OF ANDALUCIA" is not just a concert; it is a cultural encounter, a fusion of music and dance that aims to bring the magic of flamenco beyond the borders of Spain, directly to the heart of the United Kingdom. Prepare to be part of a night where passion, art, and tradition intertwine to create something truly extraordinary. Immerse yourself in this vibrant celebration of Andalucian culture and let the spirit of flamenco envelop you in a unique and unforgettable experience.

Launched during Bike Week 2021, the Cathedrals Cycle Route is an almost 2,000 mile route that travels between all 42 English Church of England cathedrals.

The Deposition of Christ, by Simon Rice, is a moment in the gospel accounts when Jesus was taken down from the cross to be laid in the tomb. It is a passing moment; a necessary transition in the story but captured here on canvas.

The painting, however, is surprising and jarring. It is both realistic and surreal. It is muted and dark but with splashes of colour. There are expected figures alongside anachronistic objects. It is an expression of an artist wrestling to make sense of his subject.

The painting is accompanied by the story of the artist's evolution of the piece and, so, the process becomes just as important as the final piece.

The exhibition is open during the Cathedral's regular opening times, and around services.

This group will meet weekly during Lent to reflect on the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book, 'Failure: What Jesus Said About Sin, Mistakes and Messing Stuff Up', written by Emma Ineson.

Bradford is a place of travellers who built a common home together. The stories of crossing into Bradford are stories of departures and of arrivals; some forced others chosen.

For some the life before Bradford is tinged with sadness of pain while others hold onto that previous life with pride and delight. Some have found the life in Bradford challenging and hard while others have thrived and discovered new life. All these stories shape our present and feed our future.

By hearing the stories of first generation arrivals from different parts of the world we hope all Bradfordians will be encouraged to share their own journeys to this place and time.

We are looking to find shared commonality in our different individual stories and identify ourselves in the larger social narratives that have shaped our collective culture.

In partnership with the University we are hosting an exhibition of Ugandan Asian migration stories, alongside stories from the Windrush Community. These two exhibitions will open up dialogue between different journeys of hope from two communities who continue to tell important, positive stories of Bradford’s own black history as well as stories of migration to our city of sanctuary.

Until Wednesday 2nd September 2023 we are running a special Pop-up Café from the Bradford Cathedral kitchen.

The Pop-up Café is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11am - 2pm, though please check on our social media page or what's on page before visiting for any changes to these opening times

We sell a range of items from teas and coffees, to cakes, freshly-made soups and made-to-order sandwiches.

We accept both cash and card payments, and you can eat-in or take-away.

This group will meet weekly during Lent to reflect on the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book, 'Failure: What Jesus Said About Sin, Mistakes and Messing Stuff Up', written by Emma Ineson.

We will meet at 7.30pm for coffee and (hopefully!) cake, followed by discussion of a chapter of the book, concluding with short time of prayer.

For further details of the book, see the SPCK website.

Some copies of the book are available from the Cathedral shop and on our online shop.

Another group is meeting on Sundays at 12pm.

An eight-session course helping you explore the BIG story. The group will meet fortnightly on Tuesdays, starting on the 23rd April and ending on the 30th July.

Whether you’re well versed in Scripture or new to the Bible, The Bible Course offers a superb overview of the world’s best-selling book. The course will increase your confidence, equip you to read the Bible better and help you to see its relevance to daily life. Over eight interactive sessions, it combines video teaching, group discussion, personal reflection and daily readings. Meeting people in groups, where everyone shares their thoughts and experiences, lies at the heart of The Bible Course as everyone learns from each other.

A typical session includes:

A light supper together
15-minute teaching video
25-minute discussion time
15-minute teaching video
10-minute personal reflection to finish
Daily readings between the sessions
If you'd like to take part, please sign up!

Although participants are invited to contribute towards the cost of the supper and course materials, this is optional.

The Coat of Hopes is currently on display at St Stephens, Bowling, from 9:30am - 3pm until Friday 28th June 2024.
